To restore a readable and accessible syslog in Debian 12.0 enter
apt-get install rsyslog
One doesn't need to do anything with the journal suite.
I installed rsyslog-doc as well. It is in:
/usr/share/doc/rsyslog-doc/html
The logs appear to be set up to rotate etc already in:
/etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/
This seems to restore other logs as well.
To implement and maintain a system there should be a text log which is
immediately accessible.
The current default logging is unsatisfactory and needs to include a
text log.
One can easily stop it later. This can be done with rsyslog etc already...
